I hope everyone is enjoying a much deserved break this afternoon! We might not have scored the most points, but Cudas - we absolutely won today. I'm so proud of our swimmers and grateful to our coaches and parents! Five Oaks 249 - Atholton 219. Meet results attached.

Congrats to Holden Skidmore for setting a new pool record for Men's 15+ Breaststroke! Way to go, Holden! 

We also have some Straehle qualifiers! For our new families - the Straehle invitational is a league-wide meet at the end of the season. To qualify, swimmers must post times at a meet that are equal to or faster than the qualifying times. Congrats to the following:

• Holden Skidmore - Backstroke, Butterfly, Breast
• Cece Sutton - Breaststroke
• Mix 15+ Relay Team
  • David Anderson
  • Tessa Draminski
  • Kirsten Reed
  • Holden Skidmore

I can't say it enough - my heart is full of gratitude.  We are so fortunate to have the best, most supportive coaches.  Thank you Paul, Maggie and Lily!  Parents - you leveled up times 10 today.  Thanks for arriving with great attitudes and going the extra mile to pull this one off.  Special shout out to Sara Thomas and Katie Parker for all of the work they do in the Cuda Bar - especially Sara for being point today for our biggest meet.  Also want to thank Roy Kent (I mean, Matt Sutton) for being here, there, every #$%!-where starting at 6:00 am.  He is the magic behind the scenes making everything run smooth.

Each one of you deserves a shout out, but I'm too tired to write more.  

On to next week!  Looking forward to hosting a smaller team with cooler temps - stay tuned and don't make me bug you to RSVP!

PS!  Please check your swimmers bag for an extra team suit.  We have at least one family missing one (girls - size 26).
